Two Arm Cable Lateral Raise

How to Do

1. Starting Position: Stand between two cable machines with the cables set to the lowest position. Grab the handles, step back slightly, and create tension.
2. Engage Core: Keep your torso upright, slightly bend your knees, and engage your core.
3. Lift Arms: Exhale and raise both arms out to the sides, elbows slightly bent, until your arms are parallel to the ground.
4. Top Position: Hold briefly, squeezing your shoulder muscles.
5. Lower: Inhale and slowly return your arms to the starting position.
6. Repeat: Perform for the desired number of reps.

Benefits

The two-arm cable lateral raise effectively targets the lateral deltoids, enhancing shoulder width and definition. The continuous tension from the cables throughout the range of motion ensures better muscle engagement compared to dumbbells. This movement strengthens the shoulders, improves stability, and can enhance overall upper body strength. The exercise also reduces the risk of using momentum, ensuring proper form and greater muscle isolation for optimal growth.
